INSTALLER:
CONFIGURING Z3-SWIF - ON BENCH:
NOTE: A Z3 Amplier with the Z3 Control Head is required in order to congure the Z3-SWIF. The Z3 Amplier will not activate
any outputs or siren tones during conguration. Only the Z3 Control Head indicators will be lit to indicate which function is
congured.
1) Connect the Z3 Control Head to the CONT HEAD port of the Z3 Amplier using a CAT-5 cable.
2) Connect the Z3-SWIF to the AMP-2 port of the Z3 Amplier using a CAT-5 cable.
3) Connect the Z3-SWIF INPUT HARNESS to the CONTROL INPUT port of the Z3-SWIF.
4) Connect the Z3 INPUT/OUTPUT HARNESS to the CONTROL INPUT/OUTPUT port of the Z3 Amplier.
5) Connect the Z3 AMPLIFIER POWER HARNESS to the Z3 Amplier (lower right power port).
6) Ground the BLACK wire of the Z3 AMPLIFIER POWER HARNESS.
7) Connect the RED wire of the Z3 AMPLIFIER POWER HARNESS to +12VDC.
8) Connect the IGN wire of the Z3 INPUT/OUTPUT HARNESS to +12VDC.
a. NOTE: The Z3 Control Head will power up and beep to indicate that the system is operating.
9) Verify that all functions on the Z3 Control Head are off.
10) Connect the PGRM+ wire to the PGRM- wire on the Z3-SWIF INPUT HARNESS.
a. NOTE: The Z3 Control Head will ash all 8 ArrowStik indicators and beep three (3) times to indicate that conguration mode
has been started.
11) Activate the input to be congured by connecting it to the PGRM- wire (see Table 1).
a. NOTE: The existing congured functions will be displayed on the Z3 Control Head.
12) Activate any functions on the Z3 Control Head that are to be congured to the selected input.
a. NOTE: DIM cannot be activated at the same time as any 3-Level switch. Only one ArrowStik mode can be activated at a
time. Only one Tone can be activated at a time (see Table 2).
13) Disconnect the input being congured from PGRM- wire.
14) Verify that all functions on the Z3 Control Head are off.
15) Repeat steps 11 through 14 for each Z3-SWIF input as desired.
16) To end conguration disconnect the PGRM+ wire from the PGRM- wire.
a. NOTE: The Z3 Control Head will ash all 8 ArrowStik indicators and beep three (3) times to indicate that conguration
mode has been ended and the conguration has been saved.
b. If additional Z3-SWIF units require conguring, go to step 6 of ‘CLONING Z3-SWIF’ to download this conguration.
17) The system is now in normal mode of operation.

CLONING Z3-SWIF:
NOTE: A Z3 Amplier with the Z3 Control Head is required in order to clone the Z3-SWIF. The Z3 Amplier will not activate any
outputs or siren tones during conguration. Only the Z3 Control Head indicators will be lit to indicate which function is cong-
ured.
1) Set up the Z3 system as detailed in ‘CONFIGURING Z3-SWIF - ON BENCH’ steps 1 through 9.
a. NOTE: Make sure to start with a precongured Z3-SWIF in step 2.
2) Connect the PGRM+ wire to the PGRM- wire on the Z3-SWIF INPUT HARNESS.
a. NOTE: The Z3 Control Head will ash all 8 ArrowStik indicators and beep three (3) times to indicate that conguration mode
has been started.
3) Verify that no Z3-SWIF switch inputs are activated.
4) Press and hold (approximately 1 second) the DIM button on the Z3 Control Head to upload (extract) the conguration from the precongured Z3-SWIF.
a. NOTE: The ArrowStik indicators work as a progress bar to indicate that the conguration is being uploaded. The upload is
complete when all ArrowStik indicators turn off.
5) On the Z3-SWIF INPUT HARNESS, disconnect the PGRM+ wire from the PGRM- wire.
a. NOTE: The Z3 Control Head will ash all 8 ArrowStik indicators and beep three (3) times to indicate that conguration mode
has been ended and the conguration has been saved.
6) Disconnect the precongured Z3-SWIF from the Z3 system.
7) Connect a non-congured Z3-SWIF to the Z3 system.
8) Connect the PGRM+ wire to the PGRM- wire on the Z3-SWIF INPUT HARNESS.
a. NOTE: The Z3 Control Head will ash all 8 ArrowStik indicators and beep three (3) times to indicate that conguration mode
has been started.
9) Press and hold (approximately 1 second) the FLASH button on the Z3 Control Head to download (transfer) the conguration to the noncongured Z3-SWIF.
a. NOTE: The ArrowStik indicators work as a progress bar to indicate that the conguration is being downloaded. The download is complete when all ArrowStik indicators turn off.
10) On the Z3-SWIF INPUT HARNESS, disconnect the PGRM+ wire from the PGRM- wire.
a. NOTE: The Z3 Control Head will ash all 8 ArrowStik indicators and beep three (3) times to indicate that conguration mode
has been ended and the conguration has been saved.
11) Disconnect the newly congured Z3-SWIF from the Z3 system.
12) Repeat steps 7 through 11 for additional Z3-SWIF units.
